Today is the 123th birthday of Madar-e-Millat (Mother of the nation) Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah. She was an adviser of her brother Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a strong critic of the British Raj and a strong advocate of two nation theory.
She sacrificed her personal and professional life for the future of Pakistan. After the death of her brother, she continued to remain a prominent philanthropist. After battling a long illness, Jinnah died in Karachi on 9 July 1967. Her legacy is associated with her support for civil rights, her struggle in Pakistan Movement and her devotion to her brother.
She received tremendous honours from the society after her death. The government of Pakistan has also built a monument in honour of Fatima Jinnah.
